Spring flowers, birds, baby animals, Easter bunnies, chocolate eggs and young lambs, that means Easter is back again.
Easter is an special occasion to celebrate resurrection of Jesus Christ. These most important religious celebrations are being spent with families and close friends. People usually wear new clothes on Easter Sunday. Some young girls wear green hair ribbons, yellow dress, and white shoes. Others may pin little crosses made of green, yellow and white ribbons on their right sleeves. These colors and new clothes signify purity and a new start to life.
Some people would strictly follow the traditions and 40 days before Easter on Ash Wednesday they will quit something they cherish. It can be cigarettes, alcohol or some favourite food.
To list all Easter celebrations and beliefs would be very long, but let's have a look at some of the most traditional ones.
